Actually, I suspect it's the LENS that's reporting the f-stop incorrectly, and that it's doing it on purpose. If the lens accurately reported f6.7, all EOS' but the 1v and 3 would shut off AF. That wouldn't be a great selling feature for the lens. ===== Bob Meyer Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
